Join me as I review United's Polaris Business Class on an Ultra Long Haul flight from Los Angeles to Melbourne. Overall, a very pleasant flight with United. I find the Polaris seat to be very comfortable, it's great for sleeping, although there wasn't much of that on this day's flight. This seat often gets critiqued for being too big for the narrow Dreamliner cabin, While I did notice this having spent many hours on the wider 777, it wasn't an issue. The food was good, and I was glad to see that it had improved since the last time I flew this route. Overall, a really impressive flight with United. Let me know what you think in the comments.

I can't excuse an international business class meal being served on a single tray on a 16-hour flight. The ice cream sundae doesn't offset the crappy meal, though most UA bloggers/vloggers try to argue that it does.
I loved the captain giving a nod to his daughter being on the plane. That was very sweet to hear. Great video as always my friend.
Yes he was a super guy! Chatted with him a bit at customs in Melbourne. Thanks for watching
8 hours of sleep on a plane... that's more than what I usually get at my own home! I love UA for the colorful moodlighting during boarding. But they really need to improve their catering service. I think both the meals were nowhere near the business class standard.
Agreed! The cabin ambiance is great tho.
Thank you for sharing your long-haul flights. It is always nice to ho to the lounges before and sometimes after those long-haul flight.😊
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
I remember doing this exact flight in Polaris last summer. This video brought back memories. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my god, that food in that LAX lounge looks so damn yummy!, awesome trip report / great airline United✈👍
Love the arrival into OZ.
Something quite special about it.
Another good and interesting video. That seemed a really great flight, and what a wonderful part of the world to arrive into. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching Nick!
Nice to see you again with a great video ...
Thanks for watching!
Good tour and review!!
Thanks!
I am about to buy a new on board suitcase. That product that you showed is really nice and looks solid and noble....
Ooooo 16 hours of Dreamliner fun I wanna go!
This is the ideal time to go for an evening stroll around the lovely town of Inglewood
I agree. Wish I had a longer layover so could get some fresh air!
great suggestion! i love inglewood
Ienjoy the views and amazing flight bt I couldn't sleep ❤❤❤
Melbourne My Dream City
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to check out the 787. I don't own airline stocks but I do own Boeing Aircraft and General Electric. I'm also into carbon fiber and own a chunk of that sector too. Thanks again. -Curt
A three hour layover is decent. You timed out your connections well and LAX can take time to get between gates.
I did, super easy at Terminal 7 but you never know with delays. Thanks for watching!
No way New York Aviation is back????
Great videos! You should show more of yourself
Welcome to my hometown
Could you please upload the full landing video somewhere? It's really good and I want to watch all of it!
thank you for this video. It is very helpful as I will be on United Polaris Business in the fall for my first time. Did you choose your meal in advance?
Very nice video, thanks for sharing. By the way, you landed on Runway 34, the opposite end of 16.
Ah good to know, my apologies! Thanks for the comment!
27:14 Jervis Bay. A very beautiful place.
Can you imagine the horror of being seated next to that screaming kid at 7:08 for the next 16 hours????!!!!
Pretty good video. Landed Rwy 34, not 16.
The food looked great from the pictures. Taste is subjective. Are your expectations reasonable? Are you comparing this food to another airline's food? Enjoyed the video. United is my carrier of choice as I live in Houston.
Quite the experience... I have never tried UA but this Polaris Cabin seems to be a very decent product. The terrace at LA is pretty cool as was the look of the bedding on this ultra long flight. I have only ever flown QF from LA to Melbourne... Is LAX easier to change planes than SFO (although not sure where in Australia UA flies to?) Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks as always for watching Nacho! Leaving the U.S. LAX is easier to connect when flying UA, coming home i try to do SFO. I do miss flying Qantas, but United is really starting to take over the Australia- U.S. market.
👍👍👍👍
Nice video. UA are expanding services to Australia so they must be doing well. That should allow them to serve decent food. You’d get better on a QF or VA 1 hour domestic flight. Very poor.
Totally agree! They really have to do better. Thanks for watching
Did you get any information about ETOPS rules during this over water long haul flight ? Hawaii. Fiji. Samoa. Can't imagine that they were 180 minutes away from a suitable airport during the whole flight.
As a TERRIFIED flyer, this calm flight looks like one I could maybe take without having a heart attack from fear!
Hope it was a great flight.
The captain sounded like a nice calm person, nice to mention his daughter
Greetings from Canada
Did you get a pre takeoff drink?
You've got quite a few dead pixels on your camera , thought my display was going bad for a sec
United's Polaris looks much better than Qantas business. The food as well. In Europe United's name isn't the best.....Hmm...😮💨
catering in US BC is not that subtle unfortunately, it could be much better
Who was the girl who snapped you when you purchased the wifi 👀
Did you ask for a sleep suit?
No they handed them out on this flight. Usually it’s upon request. Thanks for watching!
We missed your voice….
U look like 16 years ago.
Everyone use a spinner type carry on bag. And carbon fiber is lighter and has higher tensile strength than aluminum. Those 2-wheels aluminum luggage is a thing of the past.
Usual bad single tray food service on UA. So much for rumors of a coming upgrade
I’ve been hearing about these improvements for a while but haven’t actually seen anything! Thanks for watching
heureusement que nous faisons la soupe a l oignon cent fois mieux que cette chose imfame
man thats the worst business class food wow
The problem with international travel is there's too many foreigners wherever you go and not everyone speaks American.
Why not? & why should they? There's a big wide wonderful world out there beyond the USof A!!
@@cs8906 I was just trying to provoke:) And yes as the child of immigrants I am aware there's a world. I am just glad - American discovered electricity, lightbulbs, cars, airplanes, phones, smartphones, internet, computers and medicines make it easier and possible for all us world citizens to get around and travel.
All that entertainment....and you choose Young Sheldon? Yikes. What was your thought process with that one?
Video was good but i think UNITED NEED TO CHANGE THE STAFF AS THE STAFF ARE OLDER AND SAME AS KLM STAFF... For an International Route it should be young and lively and not old and grumpy, and tired staff. After all this is for the Airline Image itself... The crew who is above 45 years must be in American Route only. And the quality of the food is not that delicious and not that great and appealing to eat.
They don't give you wi-fi in business class? CHEAP!
Fork and yogurt - great. All bacteria and microbes got inside. The glass in the salad plate looked disgusting. Is this some kind of complex or lack of education?
